Blizzard is lost

>The email states that Blizzard already has an LGBTQ council that offers monthly meetings and advises on Blizzard projects, and it recently created a similar council made up of women from “various levels” in the company, with the goal of helping the company’s leaders

>The email also outlines other concrete steps that Blizzard plans to take to “enhance inclusiveness for those who identify as women,” including “networking sessions and mentoring groups for women across the company,” an annual “Women @ Blizzard” summit starting next year, and improved bias training for managers.

>implying blizzard wasn't already lost when they merged with activision

Oh for fuck sake

Metzen's daughter was the start of the rot.

Blizzard hasn't been good since World of Warcraft.

Its over bros the SJW's have won.

>hire women to have meetings about hiring more women
>have meetings solve nothing
>hire more women to try and solve "problems"
>Blizzard has hired a lot of women and they do nothing but have more meetings on how to hire more women
But hey, at least they're meeting a quota.

Can i refund my OW

>Sup Forumsirgins will automatically believe this despite OP posting no source because they want to believe bad things about a popular company

I don't actually give a shit.
I like Overwatch. I like the lore and the comics and the characters. If this is what comes from them hiring women I'm cool with it because I get more of the stuff I like.
You can not-like things, but I like these things.

The company has be going down since diablo 3 flopped. The last good fame was starcraft 2

No, but if you buy more lootboxes they'll get that you hate them!

...

>The last good game was starcraft 2
The game that continued spitting on the lore and died a preventable death through Blizzard's mismanagement?

blizzard has been lost for a long time

where have you been

Now, if only they would fix the balance and the meta.

But we know Blizzard are barely above Relic-tier when it comes to balancing.

>hire and retain more women

really robust HR departments making up shit nobody needed, oh good

>Kotaku

It's too bad they didn't hire a council that makes good games

Earlier today i said i wanted warcraft IIII and i didn't care how bad blizzard would fuck it up.

I take it back

And make better maps, and release heroes more often, and realize that their greatest asset is actually their animations and they should knock off TF2 even more by making a real series of them.

>“enhance inclusiveness for those who identify as women,”

jesus

>LGBTQ council
Jesus fucking Christ...

>lore
No one cares faggot

HR departments make up shit nobody needs pretty much universally so can say they're doing something worthwhile

sc2 was ok, but only WOL

I don't mind women working in any kind of field that any man can so long as they can do the work and do it well
But why the hell is there STILL a need to hire more women to, women have proven in many cases that they can do equal work to men
Why have we not come to terms yet in society that people should be based on their work ethic, their performance ability, and their accomplishments from previous works or jobs
Stop hiring people based on the color of their skin, its racist
Stop hiring people based on gender, its sexist
Hire people that are the most qualified and produce desirable results

>LGBTQ council
so this is the power of video games

...

there's literally nothing wrong with this, and i'll tell you why. SJW's are poison that companies willingly ingest, and the only result is death. who cares if 1 of a trillion AAA companies dies?

This seems right out of aperture science

Post yfw men will have to wear skirts to the interview to even have a chance at being hired in the games industry soon

what does the Q stand for in lgbtq? is it for people who identify as a Q? is this a secret viral marketing campaign by paramount for the new star trek?

also this is just proof positive that women/gays/men pretending to be women are largely incompetent and can't compete on the same level as your average man in the same field

Maybe I should go get a job at Blizzard. Just fucking dress in drag everyday, collect my check and then go home and be normal.

WOL still didn't fix the issues SC had and didn't give all the Koreans a reason to switch from BW. The story was also only good compared to the trainwreck that is the rest of SC2. I still had fun with it, but they didn't try to fix things until way too late.

>kotaku
gimme something more solid

So? Every other studio probably has something similar but only Blizzard gets shit on for it because Sup Forums has a massive collective hate boner for them. Even your precious nip studios most likely have some whiny bitch cunt who influences design choices. This is just the world we live in now.

>>The email also outlines other concrete steps that Blizzard plans to take to “enhance inclusiveness for those who identify as women,”
> “enhance inclusiveness for those who identify as women,”
>For those who identify as women

>Everyone will be a trap in the future

...

why are women trying to chip away western civilization? Can we have our video games at least?

>LGBTQ council

...

10 bucks says this shit is just gonna end up with the already personality lacking heroes pushed into muh lgbt because its progressive.

c'mon, if you wanna make a fucking gay/trans/lesbian character that's fine but devs doing that is just dumb.

>want to hire more women and minorities to fill diversity quota
>meritocracy means there's a high turnover rate for diversity hires
>create some bullshit committee and staff it entirely with women/minorities for good PR
>ignore 99% of the committee's suggestions

Companies stay afloat by researching their consumers and likes. No one truly believes that women have some insight on what 90% of gamers (males) want, but in this interconnected world you gotta at least put a show of effort of being inclusive. Money is always more important than agendas.

Honestly hurts my head to even try and process what happened there.

What does a LGBTQ council look like?

...

If they have sex. Whos the rapist?

>LGBTQ council
>women council
lets throw in a muslim council while we're at it
what other marginalised groups need councils?

>soon enough men have to wear skirts and stay inside and clean while women are out working
>if you go outside while wearing your skanky skirts women will catcall and sexually harasss you

literally the perfect world i cant wait

Man adding council to something instantly makes it sound like some shadow cult
What an unsavory word
I don't care about demographics though

...

It looks like a bunch of people who figured out they can hold the company hostage for a paycheck.

I like how you typed that much yet managed to say nothing meaningful

What can men do against such reckless faggotry? Where do rational people go to live? When does it end?

geriatric council

I love how this image is true. So many video game playing nerds were redpilled and it all sparked from a thot sleeping with numales for coverage of a non-game.

>Hire people not because they're the best

>Hire people based solely on their gender

Sexist and a stupid way to run your company.

Have they learned nothing from the recent Google drama

Why did he go with the name lauren? Aran was already a feminine name.

...

Roses are red
Bring the cows to the slaughter

90's frosted tips on a lesbian haircut, because that's how all normal men look. Great job turning into a dad.

One of my biggest problems with transvestites is how they are insanely fucking horrible at acting like and looking like the sex they pretend they are

Do you kids just not understand what HR is?

This is getting sad

Why is Sup Forums now the home of the retarded

u on Sup Forums bro

>read the memo
>it clearly says they will hire on merit
>it clearly says less women apply
>it clearly says "we do not have a quota, merely we are reaching out to our women to refer more women to our jobs"

where is the link to the full memo you fucks didn't actually read? oh right its not here

I'm not arguing with him though? Learn how to read.

Everyone knows what HR, and everyone knows how much it deserves to not exist you faggot

Then why have a memo like that in the first place?

Holy lol

HR departments are quite literally the most useless thing in the history of business.

...

But user if you present the reasonable parts it doesn't fit the redpill agenda

Gotta keep shitting that propaganda all over Sup Forums!

btw thanks mods, stellar job you fucking twats

I legit hope this spreads because fuck Sup Forums. I want you retards to know you help create this, you also help create Sarkessian. This is what you wanted Sup Forums, this is the result of your "epic trolling". XD

its to announce the new LGBTQ committee jobs and to ride the rails on the whole google fiasco, going "we wont be like google but we still like you women please dont leave because we will refuse to fire men for being men"

Was society always this fucking terrible? it really feels like everything has gone to shit these past few years, it's like the internet has launched mankind into a spiral of retardation.
Sometimes I just want to play games to escape reality and all of it's stupid political, moral issues, don't bring them into my games please.

...

Read the article faggots. The fact that they have such shit retention and low hire rate of people outside a small in-group IS a issue. They are losing talented people and this is a way to encourage qualified people in the industry to be less afraid of joining their team.

>recent Google drama

?

because it will appeal to the retarded sjws who wont read the whole thing either

>kotaku

if you read the meme-o you'd realize they're shitting on google

define best in a video company?

technical ability? ability to work with others? being able to offer a differing perspective and possibly up the quality of the end product?

google manifesto. Google it lel

All the councils in the world are useless if women are just not interested.

Why do women find computer jobs/hobbies boring anyway?

Russian and white supremacist propaganda have both managed to get a pretty strong foothold in America's online presence, and people are no longer taught how to not be gullible

Kek

>mankind
Did you just exclude half of the population? It's "humankind" you bigot!

The internet did indeed fuck things up royally. Fringe groups of crazies now have political and social sway just by the virtue of bitching a whole lot online. These fuckers are a small fringe of society and they're making everyone else accommodate their dysfunction.

So many nerds getting mad, you mean.
Only the complete imbeciles decided to build their whole view of the world on that.

>LGBT Council
If this is serious I fucking swear I'm done playing Blizzard games. Is there any other source beside Kotaku.

The ride never ends, user.

t. guy harassing the one female CS major

Guy that worked at Google wrote a paper saying how it had essentially become an echo chamber and his ideology was straight up ignored and hated against. After he spread it, he was fired for supposedly hurting some womens' fee-fees and is taking legal action.

>this user has deleted their account

>linking to kotaku
faggots like you should be permabanned.
